I hear he's one one of our highest paid players.

Thats a very vague statement

One of?
One of how many?
One of the top 3, top 5, top 10, top 15?

And "You've heard"
Whoever told you, can you ask them to just give us the top 10 earners please and their yearly salary ?

Cheers

If TL is going round again it should be as a 9, no way is he a starting halfback these days

Our captain/starting halfback being one of our highest paid players? Surely not.

Get Rocky back out of contract and cheap.

I'd be in favour of that to be honest, but whether he would come is another question.

does anyone think we are going to see a 'left-field' 'meh' kind of signing like the Sammut one of a few years ago?

along the lines of...
Rocky?
Gigot?
Rangi?

I, personally hope we go for an young Aussie, struggling for game time, with something to prove.....

The alternative of, no signing and Tommy round again, with the utility options of Field and French, doesn't exactly light my fire.
Still need +1 and a recognised one at that.

Everybody has gazumped us in recruitment. Huddersfield have just announced Danny Levi. Thats a great coup. Even Salford look like they have signed a good cheap half back, Brodie Croft. We give Leauluai a new deal

Thing is with those signings is they'll be 2 or 3 year deals. We perhaps want a quality replacement for Hastings there and can't currently get one. With that in mind Tommy as a stop gap is perhaps our only option.

Or maybe we're just looking for cover in the halves and going with a Field Smith combo. In which case Tommy as cover isn't a bad option.

Admittedly this should have been sorted ages ago though. we knew Hastings was leaving at the end of this season 12 months ago.

How long were we talking to George though and expecting him to be the replacement?

And looks like Hull are signing Peats. I like Powell but I feel he needs to be surrounded by good players, when it comes to creativity he must be towards the bottom in Superleague hookers and with our likely half back pairing next season I think we need that extra spark.
